I totally agree with what lrjohson said. A buy 1 get one free can be a little deceiving because you have to pay the regular price for the one and I have seen the price higher on just the one. It's hard to see what you would calculate. I would say that if you didn't substract the coupon money out before to save it - that would be a new way with the challenge. Money sitting in drawers, pockets, etc doesn't earn anything.
My first $20 came from going around the house and finding money I had put to the side. I also had coupon money. I also collect pennies and roll them. It is making me more aware to what I'm doing with my money and how much I lose to complacency. |

Walt Pennsyl: I could have wriltten your post. This is exactly how I started my $20. challenge. It really doesn't take much to find $20 in the house.
The real pay-off for BOGO FRee items is to use a coupon. Some stores will except 2 coupons. I've also had savings that the dollar savings on the bottom of the receipt doesn't show. I have bought meat or fish (perfectly good) that has been marked down. Our seafood department sometimes has an abundance of some items and needs to get rid of them. I also buy items in the store that have been marked down that won't show on the receipt. |
